Do you mean a lot of victims are babies so people can't relate and sympathize? Because for a child, there are so much dreams, emotions, formative experiences; how can the public hostile to the Palestinian cause close their eyes on that ?

What I found pretty unsettling when I watched some excerpts from the news was the stark contrast in how the events are portrayed depending on who's getting murdered. Let me explain:

The media and officials insisted on humanizing the victim; notably mentioning the crushed family life he was building for himself ("He bought the ring and was engaged").

The problem is that the Palestinian children and families getting crushed in a genocide don't have the privilege to be treated as human, to be cared about or their dreams and aspiration considered. They are at best unfortunate victims and most of the time walking flesh that needs to be exterminated.

I find that so frustrating how the right or even the mainstream always portray themselves as the superior moral culture while enabling the worse mass extermination to happen, documented before them.

EDIT: they even talked about a "heinous" crime which felt so tone-deaf and laughable.

Zed is delightful to work with, highly recommend it. It is very customizable, and debugger support is coming soon. It's like neovim but I don't have to spend 15% of my time maintaining it...

That's a super good idea,yesterday I made a cool synth riff to practice mixing ! I'm pretty happy of what I made.

 

I feel so drained after having put all of my critical thinking and creativity evaluating solution to the engineering problems I encounter; when you want to keep improving by doing a little bit everyday, how do you manage to make something decent?

I was looking through my old published songs and because I thought they were pretty good I feel reassured in my ability to make stuff: https://on.soundcloud.com/U4bALULVsNwnqxoW8

I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing at the moment, I just know I've been learning a lot everyday so I guess it's better than where I was in university :)

I'm doing programming work (back-end) and having a blast but I'm a bit sweaty from all the work !

I have my close friends that help and motivate me a lot but... I originally live in France and moved to Canada for a job.

I'm completely uprooted now and don't know anyone in Toronto. In case you're wondering why someone would abandon their life to move to Canada, I'm 18 and wanted to explore the world (still do), have a taste of the possibilities.

I'm happy with it, I'm just a little bit lonely since I arrived one month ago ;) so music making is hard alone, you constantly have to reinvent yourself and have lots of self-awarness

[–] hector@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (6 children)

That would be amazing, at the moment I feel a little down because I need to unlearn a lot of beginner things I did to progress and it's very hard.

I've been stuck only making loop and no songs, so I gotta unlearn most of what I know and start again if I want to finish my songs.

So I'll maybe go there to have some advice ehehe

[–] hector@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'm currently creating it using the website and I feel so quirky trying to come up with the community title. I think I'm gonna keep it simple lol

EDIT: here it is, (!musicmaking@sh.itjust.works I need to make it look better tho

[–] hector@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (8 children)

No I meant that positively: Lemmy doesn't seem to know about music making yet :)) I've only found my content when typing into the search bar !

I need to create this :) Let me look how to do it with Voyager

[–] hector@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (11 children)

It's crazy because I typed beatmaking into Lemmy and found a post I made a while ago :)) (because it's so empty about this subject)

[–] hector@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (13 children)

I want to create a beat making community and make it live, post pro tips and things I watch and learned but the problem is that I don't have much time aside from work nowadays and so setting up that routine of making a community live is hard.

I think I should at least try tho

Ça fait un mois que j'ai emménagé dans le 15e et je suis très excité par toutes les opportunités de rencontres et de découvertes dans la ville. Cependant la solitude me pèse un peu... (Pour l'instant j'essaie de faire une expo tous les week-end)

Pour donner un peu de contexte, j'ai terminé le lycée et examens en juillet 2024 et j'ai quitté la fac (ça ne me plaisait pas du tout) pour faire du développement dans une boîte au centre de Paris.

Du coup, plus de potes de lycée/enfance, plus de potes de fac, et totalement perdu dans cette ville, très jolie néanmoins et probablement passionnante.

Si vous connaissez des spots/assos/groupes pour sociabiliser en dehors du taff (et d'Internet) et rencontrer une grande diversité de gens, écrivez un commentaire.

J'aime/je fais :

  • de l'open-source
  • du beatmaking
  • du JdR (je suis maître de jeu normalement mais vraiment la flemme de m'y remettre en ce moment)
  • je lis beaucoup (de tout mais pas mal de fantasy et de philo)

Je suis curieux de découvrir :

  • les catacombes (faut y aller au moins une fois tant que je peux)
  • le monde (je suis jeune donc j'ai encore rien vu)
  • des gens différents que ce de mon quotidien

Voili voilou je vous aime les loulous ❤️, ce n'est pas une présentation exhaustif de ce que j'aime donc soyez créatif avec les propositions

Merci d'avance...

 
 

Si vous connaissez un peu le slang, l'histoire de Juice WRLD, c'est vraiment une musique frappante. Il faut savoir qu'il a (pratiquement) tout enregistré en 1 take!

Je voulais juste partager ça :)

(Please when answering, assume I’m not a beginner at privacy/programming :) I know where the good stuff at)

First off, shameful confession: I’m writing this on a dying yellow iPhone XR I bought second-hand three years ago (189€). I absolutely love the look of it: the screen, build quality, are all amazing. The only problem was the locked ecosystem (sideloading Spotify/Torrent client was sooo hard).

I saw the android phone of my mother dying really fast. She currently has a Xiaomi phone that’s ridiculously big for my hands, there’s advertisements in the stocks apps (?!!), the UX is janky and everything. It looks like a bloat, privacy nightmare.

So… because it’s impossible to find a jailbreakable phone nowadays I need to buy an android and ideally I would want:

  • Good screen (vivid colors)
  • Good build quality (not shitty plastic)
  • Don’t care about the camera (I don’t want those ridiculously big cameras they make nowadays)
  • Would want to install either GrapheneOS/LineageOS

The things that scare me off:

  • I really need my bank app and I need it updated so I have to use Google Play Services but I don’t want it to plague my phone with privacy bullshit (I want to be degoogled)

The things that excite me:

  • Customization possibilities
  • Learning experience
  • Even more privacy than a de-googled IOS phone :)
  • F-Droid!! (Maybe I’ll find a beautiful IRC client)
  • More choices for Mastodon & Lemmy clients
  • Freedom of free software.
  • client for open-source git providers :)

But to get all of that, I don’t want Google, I need shitty apps (non-free software) I have to install:

  • Instagram (for non-technical friends)
  • GitHub (job & open-source)
  • No-Ad Modded Spotify from Balatan
  • Discord (gamer friends)
  • Telegram (cryptobros friends)
  • Steam (because I still love gaming)

Any advices? Phone ideas? I’m so lost in this ocean of choice (freedom ✨)

My current phone:

 

When I watch certain of his Youtube clips, etc... some things bug me off. What do you think of it?

 

For me, the first time this happened was with The Royal Assassin Saga from Robin Hobb, and then Metro 2033.

This year, it’s The Witcher saga… (I can’t move on) I love all those introspective books with thoughtful heroes trying to make sense of the world they are forced to evolve into.

Do you have any other book like that?

 
 

I have been learning C++/Elixir recently and I’ve made a distributed port scanner & and a streaming platform with Elixir (what an amazing language to work with) and some fun in C++ (also super cool to use).

I feel like I gained basic mastery of the languages, but I’ve been meaning to deepen my knowledge of them. However, I don’t know where to start now…

Can you give me ideas, open-source project that I could help, etc… ? Thanks!

 

I've been trying to learn a system language because it would enable me to access a whole new world of possibility for games, tools, and potential projects. My main problem when learning the language are:

  • can I write modern C++ code using the newer standards and still compile with libraries from older standards?
  • how do I even organize a C++ project? Look at the linked project, the CMakeList.txt is so hard to understand, the syntax looks so hard to write.
  • how do I install dependencies? You're going to laugh at me, but I always used languages with package managers and I looked again at the linked project, and they write a whole CMakeList.txt to import ImGui (GUI library I wanna try) but if you compare the structure of the files, it's different from the ones on the repository of ImGui.

As you see there are a lot of problems and it pains me to not be able to solve them because Rust is so unfun to use and work with! Do you think I should try C++, carry one with it?

Thanks, hector.
